Hop: Aquila
Description
Aquila was bred in Washington, Oregon and Idaho in 3-acre trials in 1987, eventually released commercially in 1994 after trials. Anheuser Busch showed interest and Washington in increased to 100 acres to allow for evaluation. Aquila was open-polinated from Brewer's Gold.
Aquila hasn't worked out as a commercial hop due to high cohumulone content with Anneuser Busch losing interest. Discontinued in 1996.
